I spend a lot of time on Nature and wildlife forum. I see a lot of bad 1D IV files on forum.
I haven't seen a lot of bad 1Dx files there unless you mean mine

nope, not referring to yours at all but others i have seen posted, along with a lot of other canon files which include a few full blown pictures of canon's famous banding though they weren't from the 1dx, why anyone would post something like that is beyond me, but i still have yet to see anything posted that puts the 1dx on top

I was curious about it, so here's the first 1Dx post I found over there:

It'll be nice to see the D4S and 1Dx put through some heavy duty testing to see how they differ.

But this forum has shown that both the 1Dx and D4 (sans 'S') can capture some incredible images when coupled with some sweet, sweet lenses. Which one does this easier, is debatable. How the 'S' can improve vs. the 1Dx and D4 has yet to truly be seen by anyone here.

yea....right...guess you don't go to the n&w forum much, i see a lot of crap looking files from the 1dx

...and that's the cameras fault? Seriously, you're just playing fanboi Both cameras are awesome, the difference is the user. The 1-dx doesn't have any of that so called famous banding. That's a 5D speciality
Up to 2 stops of pushed shadows causes little if any problem.

Looks pretty good to me. I'd love to have the fish catch image in my portfolio. Could it have been shot with a D4/s? Sure. However, it doesn't seem like the 1Dx is "crap" either.

yea those aren't bad as far as canon goes but again, nothing there screams at me $7000 body but then in canon land that's what it takes to get away from the banding and that's pathetic that one needs to go that far when it comes to canon
i applaud canon for duping its customers that way though, way to go canon

Can you please show me a picture that DOES scream $7,000 camera so I can compare? Thanks.

On order.
I wouldn't go to Canon if they gave me their equipment. Well, I'd take it and parlay it in to Nikon stuff.

Reasoning? Simple.....Canon ugly, Nikon pretty.

I still don't know how I'm gonna pay for this NEEDED piece of gear. But I NEED it so it's on it's way. It is justified and rational. I was able to do this even before finishing the announcement article. I will commence to taking photos via remote at 409600ISO without taking it out of the box and never look back.
This is a no brainer because I've only ever made prudent, judicious and well thought out decisions all my life.

The image at 12800 ISO looks so clean to my eyes! However, is it just me or is it that the comparison crops between the D4 & D4s show much more detail in the D4? I am sure it's a lens, setting or technique variation.

Very deceptive test, unwittingly. They had different sharpness settings in the Picture Control. D4 was set higher in sharpness.

On the good side i'm already seeing guys advertising their D4 for sale at around 4,500$ in my area, saw one with round 40k clicks. So it would cost me about 1,000$ to upgrade to a D4 (providing i'd still get 3,500$ for my D3s. I'm thinking i should do it while i can still have a decent price for my D3s.

Does this make sense

I assume there is something you want out of the D4 you can't get with the D3s. If that "something" is worth $1K to you then go for it.

Wow. I thought I'd pop over here to see how people were liking the d4s.

I've not seen this much silly fanboy brand nonsense (this and previous posts) for a long time. Incorrect information, dripping with sarcasm and brand-baiting.... If you can't see anything positive to say about Canon, as I do about Nikon, the problem is with you ... not with Canon

I think I'll pop back over the wall. CYA!

D4S is not out yet... I think people will start getting them this week though.
